Sauna Benefits

Specific Health Benefits of Far-Infrared Sauna Therapy

Weight Loss

Recent studies have linked infrared sauna sessions to weight loss, with a single session burning anywhere from 200-600 calories. As the body’s core temperature increases, it works harder to cool itself, resulting in a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate; causing the body to burn more calories.

Detoxification

Researchers have long proved that toxic substances are secreted from the body through sweat. The more one can safely sweat while maintaining proper hydration, the more toxins will be excreted from the body. Infrared saunas work by heating the body from the core, where most toxins are stored. The far-infrared heat generated by our sauna penetrates at a cellular level, stimulating metabolic activity, while detoxifying the liver, kidneys and other vital organs.

Relaxation

Scientific evidence shows that infrared sauna therapy helps the body maintain healthy levels of cortisol – the “fight or flight” hormone that raises heart rate and blood pressure, which may lead to other health problems. While cortisol levels stay the same or rise slightly during a sauna therapy session, they drop immediately afterward, encouraging relaxation and tension relief.

Improved Circulation

The elevation in body temperature from infrared sauna causes an increase in blood flow that mirrors the benefits of a passive cardiovascular workout. Regular infrared sauna use – especially in the mid-infrared range – has been shown to significantly stimulate blood flow, even after your health sauna session is completed. In addition, the improved circulation from our infrared sauna helps boost muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and aid in speed healing after an intense workout.

Skin Purification

Skin therapy using our infrared sauna is essential to well-toned, healthy, great-looking skin. By eliminating toxins and increasing circulation, results include a reduction in wrinkles, as well as improved overall skin tone – including softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity and firmness.
